HEART SAVIOR

Delhi (India)

A pin drop silence was there in the air, under the broad day light of around 2 o'clock, and the entire house was in complete disarray. As if a heavy blow of wind came and destroyed everything, leaving gloominess and mess.

Glass shards were scattered all over the floor. It seemed like the house had not been cleaned for quite a few days. Clothes were lying here and there, and in some places, there were several pieces of broken glass bangles. On one side, a bloodstained bed looked desolate.

Her entire body was writhing in pain. She had so little strength left that she couldn't even stand on her own. Before her, the same scene replayed over and over again-the moment when that person, in a state of intoxication, brutally beat her, and even worse, forced himself upon her. She pondered, "Does a husband really harm his wife so brutally? Does a husband forcefully violate her without her consent? Does a husband imprison his own wife like a prisoner?"

But this all was happening with her.

Her own husband raped her last night, even though he was the person... the person she liked, the person of her choice, the person she loved. Despite that, today she started fearing him and developed hatred towards him.

Recalling the incident from the previous night, she closed her eyes in pain, lying on the ground. Numerous tears rolled down her swollen cheeks.

Due to crying, her entire face turned red. Even in such a miserable state, she appeared like a beautiful artwork. Deep black eyes with long lashes, snow-white skin adorned with several scars, long hair that hadn't been combed for who knows how many days, causing them to tangle with each other.

In the name of clothing, there was only a nightgown that came in violet color down to its knees, with strings to tie over her shoulders which was also open, leaving her body exposed.

She didn't had that in her to cover her exposed self. And even cover it from whom or for whom? When the guardian of this body, who should protect her, was a wolf in the form of a human.

Last Night

"N-Ut..Utkarsh I'm on my periods please... please don't do it today", she plea with a crying tone.

"Did I asked for your opinion?", he roared at her. And flinching, she shivers in terror while her eyes get shut closed and hands cup her ears.

"No... no... but I'm getting stomach ache."

"So, what do you want? Should I bring you chocolates like the guys or take you out for an outing... or maybe bring your pads, huh?", he grits and lands a harsh slap over her face.

With whose intensity, she fell abruptly from the bed, causing the black glass bangles on her hand to shatter, scattering in pieces on the floor, and some piercing into her hand.

She screams in pain badly when he walks closer to her, grips hand which was wounded by broken bangles and twists roughly, then growls, "Now, say nah Bitch.. don't you have tongue?"

"M-my.. my hand is hurting, Utkarsh leave... I said leave it!", she deadpans, writhing in pain.

"What did you say? Leave... now wait, I'll show you!", he hisses in annoyance.

He throws her over the bed, pushing her hard and removes every inch of cloth from her body venting his anger and lustful desire needs. For a long time she kept on screaming but he got deaf ears to them.

The whole bed sheet was bathed in the pool of blood. But he doesn't stop until he takes her 2-3 times more, satisfying himself to the fullest, and goes to sleep. While she sobs vigorously, turning into a ball. The pain is getting worse after that torment and now crying. Helplessly, lying over there, she was holding onto her stomach once and then head as the pain took over her body, but no one was there to hear her screams.

Recalling all this, she screamed in a distressing manner.

She cried loudly, sobbing uncontrollably.

After crying to her heart's content for a while, she mustered courage to stand up. She attempted to get up, driven by the fact that she hadn't eaten or had a sip of water in since a day. In the restlessness of thirst, she struggled to rise from the bed, but in the next moment, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Ah...!" she screamed again, this time with the intensity of pain. On the ground, there were pieces of glass that once again pierced into her hands. Her entire hand was now covered in blood. Once again, she started sobbing uncontrollably.

While crying, she could only think of her mom and dad. She remembered how they had strongly advised her, "Hiya, dear... Utkarsh is not a good choice for you." From a distance, their words of counsel echoed in her mind.

"Mama, you were right... Utkarsh is not a good choice for me... he is bad... Actually, he is dirty... very dirty, Momma... he dirtied me too... very dirty, Momma... very dirty!"

She cried out so loudly that she began to fear even looking at herself. She wasn't like this before; she was like a beautiful flower in a garden, and Utkarsh, the named devil, had crushed her petals.

Ahil Raizada was the only brother among three sisters and was everyone's favourite. Despite being the youngest among his sisters, his status was just like that of the elders. It seemed as if his three sisters were younger than him, and their brother was older.

He had beautiful eyes with a good height, adorned with a nifty eye-map. Dark brown hair, hazel brown eyes, a slight shaving on the face... and he was the first choice of thousands of girls – Ahil Raizada.

All the girls in his office admired him, but they knew that he would never be there, it would only be a dream. Truly, he is just a prince charming of dreams.

Today, the entire Raizada mansion was glittering due to Ahil's birthday. His three married sisters were present, but no one seemed to know whose birthday it was. His elder sister Sneha called him.

After ringing a couple of times, Ahil, the birthday boy, finally picked up the call and calmly said, "Yeah, Di! What happened?"
